The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has dismissed several street sweepers, their supervisors, and the service provider responsible for their operations due to allegations of indiscriminate waste dumping along the Oworonshoki-Beger axis in Lagos. This decision was made after investigations and surveillance revealed that the affected sweepers were involved in dumping waste on the median, an area identified as a waste blackspot.
LAWMA Managing Director/CEO Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin confirmed that the personnel confessed to the act during their investigation. He stated that the disengagement aims to demonstrate LAWMA's commitment to maintaining high waste management standards across the state. Gbadegesin emphasized that LAWMA would continue investigating recurring waste disposal hotspots and take action against individuals or organizations contributing to indiscriminate dumping.
Two suspected illegal waste dumpers were also arrested by LAWMA enforcement officials around the Berger-Oworonshoki axis.
